Reformed wild child Drew Barrymore plans to tell her daughter all about her drug-addled past and her tragic romances.

The 37-year-old Charlie’s Angels star says her 4-month-old girl Olive will hear all about mum’s slip-up which first kicked in as a 16-year-old.

Emotional Drew slammed her own mum Jaid Barrymore for letting let her down during a confessional chat with Oprah Winfrey screened on Sunday night.

‘I will absolutely instill in her that you cannot be ashamed of the journey that it took, you know, to get where you are if you are proud of yourself,’ the emotional E.T actress.

‘But I will also try to instill on her that I did not have guidance and that is why I lived my life that way. And although I am proud of it and I don’t want to spend the rest of my life regretting it, there is no option for her to take that path because she has guidance.’

Finally settled and married to art consultant Will Kopelman at the age of 37, the star’s personal CV makes car crash reading.

The star was engaged by the age of 16 to Leland Hayward before things went belly up.

Her first marriage to Los Angeles bar owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994 ended after two months. A second marriage to Canadian Tom Green in 2001 lasted slightly longer after just over a year. She later revealed she was bisexual.

But cleaned up Drew has vowed she’ll be a hands on mum and will be waiting at the school gates for her girl.

‘I will be there at 3pm in the school line waiting to pick her up, that’s first and foremost,’ said the emotional star.

‘I think that’s as a kid what I craved the most, was just believing that was going to be there. Being there in that school line. I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles but that shouldn’t be one for kids – is the worry that my parent won’t be there.’
